Alleviation of Carbon-Tetrachloride-Induced Liver Injury and Fibrosis by Betaine Supplementation in Chickens
Figure 4
Effects of betaine on liver mRNA expressions of selected liver injury biomarkers and plasma DPP4 and GST concentrations with CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. (a) mRNA expressions of selected liver injury biomarkers. (b) Plasma DPP4 concentrations. (c) Plasma GST concentrations. Values were presented as the mean ± SEM. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA (). Means with the same letter were not significantly different at . Acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase (AACS), D-dopachrome tautomerase (DDT), dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP4), glutamate synthase (GLUL), and glutathione S-transferase (GST).
